WiFi on Solaris x86

Hi All, what's the fastest/easiest way to configure my newly installed Solaris 10 to get onto my existing WiFi connection?

Where is the config to add this on? (I'm hoping I do not need to download anything)

i don't know of any wifi driver for solaris 10... in solaris 11 there is wifi.

Ok, alternatively, what if I hook up a wired internet connection to it, then how do I configure it?

It would help if you tell in the first place what wifi card or nic you have. There are some third party wifi drivers for Solaris 10 but the setup is much simpler (or sometimes achievable) under OpenSolaris/Solaris 11 Express.

No card. I just got the built-in one that comes with a Toshiba laptop. (works fine with Windows on same machine)
